My Bully’s Love by Stacy Rush

mid-thigh. I also throw on the pair of crotchless panties that Jace got me for Christmas. I will have to remember to take these with me when I go back home. I hear the doorbell ring, and quickly head downstairs, feeling all giddy knowing that I’ll be seeing Jace again so soon.

As always, the food is good, and the company is even better. There is a lot of laughter going around the table as we talk about old times, mainly about things that Jace and I would get up to when we were younger. The only thing to damper the mood is Elise not being at the table with us. I was really hoping that she would be here, since this will be our last dinner together for a while, but I guess she really doesn’t care.

Jace must sense my mood, because he places his hand on my thigh under the table and squeezes it lightly. When they first arrived and he saw me in the skirt, his eyes turned a deeper green with lust, which in turn made me throb deep inside. Sitting so close to him has been keeping me on edge throughout dinner. All I want to do is have him hold me down and take me, maybe somewhere in the house where there is a chance of being caught, like the bathroom or something. I’m not sure what’s gotten into me, but l’ m turning into a real nympho for the man beside me.

“So, Ella,” Mrs. Palmer grabs my attention, “Has Jace told you what we are getting him for his birthday?”

“Mom, I haven’t had the chance to tell her since you just told me before coming over here.” He chuckles.

Thad forgotten that his nineteenth birthday is in three weeks, and I won’t be here, but I try not to dwell on that just now. I glance between mother and son, waiting for one of them to go on, when

Jace turns to me grinning, “They are buying me a plane ticket so! can spend my birthday with you. That is, if it’s okay with you.”

I can feel my face light up at this news and I throw my arms around him, “YES! That is the best news ever!” I laugh happily.

“Well, I guess that means it’s okay with Ella.” Mr. Palmer snickers and I hear my dad groan.

“Oh stop, Ethan! Ella is an adult now, and it’s time that you accept that.” My mom slaps him playfully.

“I know, I know, but it still doesn’t make it any easier.” He sighs.

“Are you going to be my brother-in-law soon?” My brother, Eli, asks Jace.

“NO!” My father says quicker than a streak of lightning.

| chuckle, “No, we are not getting married so soon, Eli. We just started dating and we both need to finish school.”

“That is music to my ears!” My father cheers.

“Oh,” Eli makes a sad face, “I was finally hoping to have a brother to do things with.”

“Hey buddy,” Jace speaks up, “Anytime you want to do something, all you have to do is call me and we will do it. I am right next door, at least for a few more weeks, anyway.” 

I look at him, “Why only a few more weeks?”
